Find Personal Freedom in the Principles of Invisible Justice

We can never hope to be free as long as any part of us struggles with,
or suffers over what others are doing, have done, or won't do with
their lives. If we could remain aware of the often-compromised state
of our own character, that is, how we still do those things to others
that we don't want to do, this awakened conscience would stir in us a
new need. Rather than worrying about whether so-and-so gets his
comeuppance for being the kind of person he is, our attention would be
elsewhere. It would be focused fully upon being in the Now of our own
life where we would be actively attending to what we must do to let go
of old resentments that won't let go of us!

A great part of our inability to release this conflict-bred sense of
feeling ourselves to be a hostage of how others behave is born of a
mistaken perception. In our ignorance, we believe we must fix those
who have done us wrong, otherwise justice won't be served. But, as we
are about to thankfully discover, the truth is far from this popular
view and the chain of victims it serves to create.

There are great Eternal powers at work around and within us all the
time. And as we awaken to realize that these same perfect principles
are already in place to empower us, this same understanding puts us in
relationship with a whole new order of freedom. Freedom is not a
creation of ours. It is not something attained by making life line up
with our wishes; it is a system already in place, needing only our
awareness of its abiding reality to realize its power as our own.

These same invisible laws hold true when it comes to justice for
all. We've all heard the phrase, "What goes around comes around." This
principle of karma, that what we give, we will receive in return, is a
mathematical law whose root runs through the heart of reality. Our
present problem is that we don't understand this principle in
operation because we can't always see with our physical eyes its
unfailing fruition. But be assured, what is evil in nature never goes
without its reward, just as what is good is always rewarded in
kind. With these truths in mind, how many of us spend our precious
time and energy fuming over what others may have done to us?

Unseen in the steam of our heated emotions and churning thoughts is
the one inescapable fact that we are the secret prisoner of anyone we
wish to punish. And the more we would punish this person, the less
freedom we have to be at peace with ourselves. Here's a beautiful
lesson in invisible justice, followed by an explanation that will help
you let go of any revenge-filled, self-tangling thought. We need never
concern ourselves with whether or not some wrongdoer will get his just
due. Here's why: any person who does wrong to another is already
punished. More correctly stated, anyone who acts unjustly in life
instantaneously ensures that he or she will be corrected by the
celestial laws that govern all such trespasses. It doesn't matter one
bit that you or I don't see this law enacted to our satisfaction. The
fact remains: an invisible justice system already exists. This means
we need never judge anyone, nor wish some sentence of suffering upon
him or her. This understanding is a gift of great freedom known only
by the true few. And we can count ourselves among these liberated ones
if we are willing to learn what we must. Here are a few vital facts
about this unseen system that ensures equality for all.

Around and within us reside invisible and powerful laws that rule over
reality in all its infinite forms. These forces of instant
righteousness, or perfect balance if you prefer, are always at
work. Nothing escapes their imperceptible presence; everything yields
to the weight of their judgment.

One reason many of us fail to recognize the existence of this
celestial justice always acting upon us in the Now-or find solace in
its perpetual sovereignty-is because of our conditioning: we just
aren't comfortable with the idea of any other order of rectitude apart
from exacting the proverbial pound of flesh. But here is just one
small example of how these perfect laws-in one even motion-sentence
those who trespass, while liberating those who realize them: All
pretence punishes the pretender. Here is proof of this truth. The
smallest act of cunning on our part always starts with secret
self-conflict. Other truths that are the foundation of justice are all
around us if we know where to look within ourselves. For example, Any
embraced hatred festers the heart of the one holding this
sickness. Here's another principle governed by these same laws, a
principle that allows us to pity those who blindly accumulate power or
possessions at the cost of a greater good: the seed of any greed
always lies within some self-compromising fear, so that nothing can be
won by its actions that doesn't frighten us further.

These next truths are also part of this same system of justice. It is
our growing insight into these incorruptible laws that shows us the
wisdom in the timeless idea of letting go and letting God. The love
of God transforms all things bitter into something
better. Self-correction is instant self-elevation.

All of these truths-along with their exciting implications-prove the
existence of a great and universal system of invisible justice that
upholds the laws of the Invisible Eternals. And if we look deeper
still into the heart of these new discoveries, we will find within
them the promise of this welcome relief: we are forever relieved of
the conflict and misery of wanting to penalize those who may have
caused us pain. We can let go of all forms of lashing out at others
because we see the truth of how things actually work. Getting wrongly
caught up in the conflict of wanting to fix the bad behavior of
someone else only opens the door and invites other problems and pain
into our own life! Now we can leave these people alone to their own
trials and torment, for we have seen that their negative nature is one
and the same as their punishment; and further we have seen that
whatever weight we would try to add on to their backs only falls onto
our own. To act from this higher self-awareness not only helps free us
from the initial pain born of a negative reaction to what others have
done to us, but it also keeps us from wrongly investing ourselves in
trying to correct what is already in the throes of being corrected!
And once we stop locking ourselves up with wasted judgments and their
attendant, never-ending worries, we find that not only are we free,
but that there's no power in the universe capable of holding us
captive again.
